Donald Trump, a former resident of New York City, was roundly booed at Game 3 of the NBA finals last night at Madison Square Garden in downtown NYC. Trump, the first sitting president to ever attend an NBA Finals game, announced plans earlier this week to be at the game, His visit caused ticket holders to have to stand in line two hours in order to get into the venue. When Trump stood in the owner's box and saluted for the national anthem, the scene was shown on the jumbo-tron and greeted with extensive jeers and derision. The crowd loved their Knicks, but clearly were not impressed by the President of the United States and his entourage of flunkies.
Not only did Trump's short-notice trip to Madison Square Garden slow fans' entry into the venue (considerably!), it also managed to snarl traffic even more than usual. Trump's sports outing required a large security presence at the Garden both inside and outside of the event. Five blocks around the game site were supposedly locked down by government agents.
CNBC reported that as the presidential motorcade made its way to the Garden, Trump was able to see signs along the way disparaging his visit. They featured sentiments such as "Nobody Wants You Here," "Trump Must Go," and "Impeach. Convict. Remove." There were also people along the route booing the motorcade. Clearly Donbo was not feeling the love.
The New York Knicks lost last night's game, ending a thirteen-game winning streak, a sad occurrence which some are undoubtedly interpreting as what to expect when a self-important personage chooses to make a national sporting event about himself rather than the teams and the competition.
The final score was the San Antonio Spurs 115 and the New York Knicks 111.
Donald, please do the Knicks a favor and watch the rest of the series on television!
